You're right, it was a TRS-100. The Neo remains a candidate, but the temptation of the ASUS is also strong. A friend is wrestling with a Palm and IR Keyboard right now, and anything that solves that particular problem must we welcome. That’s the trouble with nostalgia, one misremembers.

I thought the <a title="Neo laptop" href="http://www.alphasmart.co.uk/neo/">Neo</a> from Alphasmart was a candidate? Agreed, I am willing to pay for a decent keyboard --I also type-- and the EEE PC isn't quite there yet, but I like where the market is going. Somewhere yesterday I came across the line "now that we're all Eee'd out..." and I thought that only happened in nightclubs. No, I hadn't seen the cartoon but, on the subject of mazes, I did stumble on <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/news/son_of_a_bitch_mouse_solves_maze">this</a>. Surely you mean a TRS-100?

As a touch typist, I really want a full size keyboard. Also, I really do not want to have to use Windows in any shape or form. Once you've got one running Linux I'll follow suit.

You’ve seen this? Coincidence, of course.
